Water is such a wonderful element. To the ladies of Anash’s family, today they were going to enjoy a soothing bath and swim in an underground pond deep in the Dragon Lair of Stohyer. They had been invited by Senashea the mate of the Great Dragon Gynyorra. She waited for them upon the ledge at the far end of the pool. The water was warm and fed by a warm spring that created a small water fall on the wall between Senashea and the door made for humans to enter. It was just deep enough for a dragon to lie in and only be half covered.

A red lady led the seven females down a dark corridor cut into the rock. It was at a downward angle and kept having turns to the left.

Right behind the red lady were the two youngest, Kilorra and Merylis, skipping around holding hands. Kilorra’s hair was white, thick and wavy like Marchalla’s and she also had her grandmother’s green eyes. Merylis was just eight months older than Kilorra and her hair was strawberry blonde, thick and wavy.

Behind the two little girls trying to keep them in line was Marchalla their grandmother. Her long thick wavy white hair was almost to the floor. She was the tallest in this group and was wearing white robes.

Gaebrah, the oldest of Anash’s children, walked next to her half sister Andileeda just behind Marchalla. Both, wearing green robes, had dark hair like their father, but Andileeda had the brightest blue eyes. Avris and Monorra swore that she had their father’s eyes.

Bringing up the rear were the sister wives of Anash. One would almost think that they were teens the way they were giggling and poking each other. They wore the blue robes that Anash gave them when they first came to the lair. Avris was the taller with much darker strawberry blonde hair than her sister.

Senashea had invited them so that they would have something to do together while Anash was away on a diplomatic meeting with the Empress of the Dryads. He had only been gone just a few days. While they were to be with Senashea, Anash’s two sons were with Gynyorra in his private bathing pool with Garthlac, Vorent and Largon.
